SKVR textEnglish
1Tuo, isoni, tuulen päältä,Bring, my father, from the wind's height,
2Tuo tytölle tyynyvaate,Bring the girl a pillow-cloth,
3Poj'allesi potra hattu!For your son a sturdy hat!
4Poika pellon pehmittävi,The son softens the field,
5Aian vieret astuvoipi,He can tread the garden's edges,
6Tuopi leipää lehosta,Brings bread from the alder grove,
7Kaakkua kanervikosta.A barley-cake from the heathland.
